This is
elg!ene[~]> uname -a
FreeBSD elg.hjerdalen.lokalnett 13.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 13.2-PRERELEASE
#1: Tue Jan 31 11:23:29 CET 2023
ene@elg.hjerdalen.lokalnett:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/ENE-spurv
amd64

Using the tcsh that comes with it. But I don't think the quotes matter
much because of this:

elg!ene[~]> grep ø
grep: trailing backslash (\)

The output was more just to have something to look for, like
with ggrep but anyway:

elg!ene[~]> printf 'bø\nhei\nøl\n' |grep ø
grep: trailing backslash (\)

And obviously:

elg!ene[~]> printf 'bø\nhei\nøl\n' 
bø
hei
øl

And it seems to be the same for any 8859-1 character not part
of ascii:

elg!ene[~]> grep ä
grep: trailing backslash (\)
elg!ene[~]> grep ß
grep: trailing backslash (\)
elg!ene[~]> grep ç
grep: trailing backslash (\)
